Later on in the day, Char and I went over to Karen's for Xmas dinner.

Of course, I visited Dean and Anne the next day. Here is Baby while Dean and I make a run to the post office.

Horses at Farm


Mt. Pilchuck


A beautiful runs at the edge of their farm. It flooded 90% of their land earlier in December and they had major damage. The only thing they didn't have damage to was their life, horses and house. So they consider themselves very blessed.

During the holiday week, Charlotte and I went to Ivar's in Mukilteo, WA for dinner on the wharf. About a 30 minute drive from Char's house. Right on the water where you can watch one of the BIG ferry's take on and unload cars from other landings.

We had crab cakes, lobster bisque, salad with blue cheese and split a salmon dinner. YUM!!!

I'm ready for my close up, Mr. D.


Then on Saturday with everybody, we all finally had Christmas dinner together. Maryanne is pictured here with Karen (Maryanne is Karen's MIL) and Charlotte (Karen's Mother). Maryanne's Mother died the Wednesday before Christmas, so understandably there where more important events to deal with. Hence, the later Christmas dinner with everbody. Maryanne lives in Las Vegas.
